Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly against handing a start to Serge Aurier for the North London derby with Arsenal.
Pochettino faces a selection dilemma at right-back, with Juan Foyth definitely ruled with with an ankle injury and Kyle Walker-Peters struggling to overcome a problem with his hamstring.
While Aurier has been behind the rest of the group in terms of fitness, the Ivory Coast international is available for the fixture at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
However, the London Evening Standard claims that Pochettino does not want to hand a start to the player given that he does not feature in his long-term plans.
The 26-year-old, having failed to hold down a place in the team in his two years in England's capital, is currently being linked with a switch to AC Milan.
Spurs are said to be open to concluding a deal before Monday's deadline.
